Hello all I just installed an aftermarket radio and now it only turns on wen the ignition is in the on position and not when you turn the key back for accessory power. The radio was $50 so could it be that it's just a cheap radio?

Sorry. Aftermarket leaves lots of room for error. Grab a multimeter and see if it is getting power in the accessory position. No easy answer, you are going to have to investigate further.

If you turn the key to run, without starting, and it works then maybe the fuse for the RAP is blown? I think theres a fuse for that i forget. Does anything work in the accessory position? The wipers and windows should work.
